Caridad ("Charity") (Nora Aunor), a nun who loves Rodrigo (Ronaldo Valdez), the gardener in the convent. Caridad is experiencing a complex feeling of a woman fighting for the love she for Rodrigo and her vow as a nun. When Caridad discovered that Rodrigo and Satan are the same entity, Rodrigo made her life like hell.
